Alaska Statutes Title 28. Motor Vehicles § 28.10.301. Transfer of motor vehicle to minor

(a) An agreement for the purchase of a motor vehicle by a minor who has not been emancipated is void unless a parent or guardian of the minor is also a party to the agreement.

(b) If a vehicle is improperly transferred to a minor, the title to and registration of the vehicle remains with the owner and does not transfer to the minor or the parent or guardian of the minor. However, if the certificate of title and registration for the vehicle has been delivered to the minor or the parent or guardian of the minor, that person shall immediately deliver the certificate of title and registration to the department. The department shall reissue title to the previous owner of record.

(c) In this section, “emancipated” means that a minor to whom the term refers is a resident of this state and is at least 16 years of age, is living separate and apart from the minor's parents or guardian, and is capable of self-support and of managing the minor's own financial affairs.
